It was there that I learned how to be a great teammate and competitor. The Monarch traditions of grit and determination served me well over the span of my coaching career as I have always fallen back on the lessons learned from my teachers and coaches at Mendel. During the span of a 46-year coaching career I have always instilled the aspects of competitive toughness and work ethic in the players that I\u2019ve coached. It was the same standard that was emphasized in the football program at Mendel. I am proud to have gone to school and played football at Mendel high school and God willing I can continue to help the young men that I coach to be better people and players in our future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student Government \u2013 4 yearsFootball \u2013 4 years; starting quarterback Senior year.Four-year starter at quarterback, Illinois Benedictine CollegeNAIA Honorable Mention, All-American. final two seasonsAssistant Football Coach: N.
